My Plantcentric Journey

Oh my gosh! I made Mexican Chowder from Lindsay Nixon’s Everyday Happy Herbivore cookbook. It is amazing-hot or cold! So cheesy-like, thick and great.

TIPS: As you know, Happy Herbivore cookbooks are my go-to favorites. I usually have what I need in my pantry, and if I don’t, I can just substitute. Like I always say, “Use what you have.” For example, I doubled this recipe and did not have two green peppers, so I threw in two packages of sliced mushrooms that I was getting antsy about going bad in my fridge. I also only had brown miso, not the yellow type called for. This dish turned out fantastic.

Also, I only use organic corn due to all other corn being GMO–same with soy (and NEVER soy protein isolate). I always portion out the servings into separate bowls and refrigerate the extras for the next day’s meal. That way, I don’t overeat.
